Off topic - that list of top 50 logistics companies only has 3 nationwide LTL providers : 1.)UPS , 2.)XPO and 8.)FedEx.Yeah Karenk... XPO is not just a trucking company, as you probably already know; but a logistics company that includes the type of business mentioned in the piece that you posted. Additionally, XPO has many other service offerings under it's umbrella. It's unfortunate that many teamsters will be put out of work w/ the new distribution center being built. I feel their pain, been there and done that, but the bottom line for the grocery chain doing what they are doing is easily understood: sustained profitability and growth in a weak economy. The piece did say that XPO is offering a decent benefit package to prospective hires at the new center. I hate to say it...but that's the way business is being conducted in the 21st century...cut costs to the bone if you want to survive. As far as XPO is concerned, they are not the villain here: they have perceptive insight into doing things new and different. They have a proven model that fits and works in today's world of flat or soft economic growth at best. In fact XPO is doing remarkably well, so far, with it's business model to date. XPO has climbed from the 12th position in 2014 to the 2nd position in 2015 of the top 50 Logistics companies according to TT. http://www.ttnews.com/top50/logistics/
It's pretty easy to see where the 'savings' are gonna come from...$10-11 per hour with NO benefits. Are you kidding me?Not trying to be a troll, just sharing

It's not 'badmouthing' if it's a fact.That's what the union is saying. They are going to bad mouth because the company is doing away hiring employees and subcontracting the warehouse out to a 3rd party
Been there done that. Over the years I heard alot of so called facts from unions. I was just saying that's what the union says but we won't know the real truth until June when the job will be on the XPO job page.It's not 'badmouthing' if it's a fact.
We have a UAW truck plant nearby. To keep it open the union agreed to non-union workers in the plant. The non-union workers all wear bright orange color vests and out number the union workers about 3 to 1.More and more cockroach scab owner ops more cheap foreign drivers and most of you drivers seem happy about it wait till ur yards are full of big box truckload carriers and u can't do a damn thing about it and it will happen if u think xpo cares about u ur nuts keep eating what they r feeding y'all good luck

When I walk in a Kroger or Meijer , they have the self checkout lanes - 1 cashier and works 4 or 5 stations compared to 1. ( Meijer and Kroger are both union but I'm sure they bargained this )
Meijer distribution center nearby. When a driver checks in they go to an auditor - a good paying union job at the other distribution centers but not this one - the union agreed to make it a non-union job here.
Not arguing union non-union , I'm saying before non-union companies and people get blasted and talked about , why doesn't the union do you the first thing that they are known for? Protect their own instead of what looks like sacrificing their own.
Along with a jug of mobile oil and a box of 9mm.I shop at Wal-Mart because I can get a can of beans, a pair of socks, an aquarium filter, and an SD card all in one place.

I try to pay attention to the LTL industry ( I always figured all of the other LTLs had a strong logistics division ) Unless they go by different names , I'm surprised that OD , R&L , ABF , and Estes are not on the list.

What funny was back in the day when I was a union member the union had a personal credit card you could get with the union logo on it and it was either a visa or MasterCard. The union would even know where you used the card. We would get news letters talking about the high percentage of charges at Walmart and they would ask member to stop doing that.
My point is that alot of union member's do not support there own stores. They all talk about union this and union that but at the end of the day they shop at Walmart.
